The Rise (and Fall) of Clubhouse

I've been wanting to talk about #Clubhouse for a while now... so I'm gunna do that today. It is a fascinating example of how US-centricism dominates the internet... so we'll have some fun.

Whilst this channel is primarily about fun and building camera skills and riffing ideas, my overall mission is to get you thinking critically about the Internet, and particularly the 'culture wars'.

I want to show you, with various examples, how we are being messed with in our lizard brains for the benefit of the powerful. Which, as a professional of 20+ years, I think is unethical and needs informed consent.

This is the informed part, hopefully delivered in an entertaining and funny way. The consent part is where the real fight is, but we can still have fun, yeah?

PS. This channel is partially for educational purposes, but also a small, selffunded, unsponsored, unedited show. If you expect me to do something YOU want (eg clips), then you are mostly certainly welcome to a) make clips yourself, or b) donate at higher tiers, or invest in my work, so I have time to do that. This stuff isn't free to produce, you know

Otherwise, if you aren't paying me, this is supposed to be fun for me and #comedy​​​​ practice and I will talk about what *I* want. I swear BECAUSE it annoys people (and I have a stutter), so spare the lecture. Nobody owes anyone anything that isn't paid for, including content creators. Thanks.

If you want someone who takes themselves seriously, then fuck off to an Americans-With-Sticks-Up-Their-Arses Channel, or feel free to report me to my HR Department: tea@teasmith.com.au or +61407877431 (Telegram or Signal)

PPS: We don't live in America and the World's #Internet is not your personal HR Department. You don't own us, colonising pricks. STFU and stop chewing so loud. You might actually learn something.

Love you. Visit my website teasmith.com.au or hire me as a consultant kintsugi.com.au or visit my Discord tealou.xyz
